In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Whisk in brown sugar until dissolved, then let it bubble for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter. The mixture will be liquidly. Whisk in vanilla. Let sit and cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Line a mini muffin with with liners. Melt 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips (I do mine in the microwave, heating on full power for 20 seconds, stir, 30 seconds again, and stir until melted). Drop 1/2-1 teaspoon of chocolate into each liner, then use a pastry brush to brush chocolate up the sides of the liner. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. By this point the butter + sugar mix should be cool. Whisk in powdered sugar, salt and flour, until combine and few lumps remain. Fold in mini chocolate chips. The dough will be wet, but pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden.

Remove muffin tin and cookie dough, then place 1 teaspoon of cookie dough (I somewhat rolled mine) into the chocolate cups. Place back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate chips, then cover each cookie dough top with chocolate, smoothing with a spoon. Freeze again for 15-20 minutes. These are fine out in room temperature for a few hours (they may soften a bit) but I like them best stored in the fridge.

Note: I’m sure if you temper your chocolate and let it sit at room temperature these will harden without the freezer, but this is what works for me best.

OK, wait a minute!!! The suggestion was made that you should get a patent…to call Hershey and get this in production…and you said that SORT OF HAPPENED????? WHAT, exactly, HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!? Where’s the rest of the story?!?!?!?!?

Ok so I made these….twice, well the dough anyway. I either could get the butter/sugar mixture to be under dissolved (which made it have a hard crust after it cooled or I over dissolved it and made caramel. I’m not sure if maybe I had the heat up too high or too low or what. Maybe you or someone could give a bit of insight into that.
In the end I ended up melting butter and throwing in all the remaining ingredients and making “dough” which tasted delish and hopefully the cups will also end up amazing too, just waiting for them to harden. I’ll report back! Thanks!

I should just really make something in chocolate cups. I see them all over the place and never make them because the hubs is allergic to nuts but this makes me realize I could put anything in them. Also, I like cookie dough, sooooo, there’s really no excuse.

Seriously dangerous.
I actually *have* done what Miranda did… they were Nanaimo bars. These look and sound even better! I’m so going to make them anyways – won’t do the soap… they’ll be worth every calorie!

These look great, the recipe ingredients look great, but I honestly wouldn’t make them. I know for sure, just by looking, I would eat them all up. I just can’t be trusted. To those of you lucky enough to have self-control, I’m very envious. I have to deny myself these pleasures, and simply eat with my eyes. It’s just not fair that I wasn’t born with the gene that let’s me know when to stop, I have the greedy gene.

These look AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to try them…going to try to gluten free them, though…I’m thinking I can maybe either leave out the flour or just use sweet rice flour?

And you’re right about the tempering thing….they’ll hang out on the counter and set that way. It also gives the chocolate its snap and shine and helps fends off bloom (which isn’t a problem here, I’m thinking because they’re not going to hang out long enough for it to develop!!) I’ll probably temper my chocolate (I have three tempering units and don’t use them nearly as often as I should!), but keep them in the fridge because I prefer cold cookie dough!! :)

Thanks so much for creating this – I’ll be posting to my business facebook page soon so my clients can make them, too!!!

that’s so funny i couldnt stop eating leftover apple pie today so i eventually had to dump it down the garbage disposal even though there were still a few slices left. I had already eaten like half the pie so if i hadnt dumped it, it wouldve been more like a whole pie in my stomach. Anyway, these cookie dough cups are brilliant. im scared to make them though. probably wont be able to stop eating them):

These look fabulous. If Isaac hadn’t already proposed, I’m pretty sure I would have made these to try to speed up the process. :) Still thinking I should make these for him though, just to be a nice fiancee.

Hi Jessica! I love your blog and have tried a bunch of your recipes! I wanted to tell you I just made these for a bake sale I’m hosting tomorrow and they are wonderful! I can’t wait to see if people love them as much as I do! I bet they will be a big hit.

i held out all weekend. i saw this friday morning. i was off from work. i said no. think of the wedding dress. don’t do it. saturday i kept busy. sunday was a lazy day. i sat around and watched something borrowed and on demand reruns of big bang theory.

until 8 pm.

when i couldn’t stand it any more.

i made them. they’re fabulous.

i meant to bring them to work to pawn them off. I took the container out of the fridge and obviously left it on the counter when i left. oh well.

I love your blog and have a question. I just had some of the best pudding of my life, the Chocolate Chip Cooking Pudding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine in NYC (http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2009/10/sugar-rush-chocolate-chip-cookie-pudding.html). Have you had this before? The dish reminded me of your blog because it is really creative and delish. My goal is to be able to recreate this pudding at home in Boston. I am curious to know if there is sweetened condensed milk in the butterscotch pudding, if they sneak in cookie dough into the mix, and how they make this in general. If you ever get a chance to try this pudding please let me know what you think. Thanks!

i made them this weekend!!! since it was impossible to find individual mini cups i made a big giant one! no portion control at all!! hahaha i suggest making the chocolate covering in Dark Chocolate instead of milk…sooooo sweet!! I love it!

Oh my! I have to try these. The folks at my office would love them and so would my family, of course except for my poor lactose intolerant husband who is unfortunately allergic to everything. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my stars! I have these in the final freezer stage right now! I didn’t have mini muffin cups, so I just used regular size…I figure then I won’t eat as many ;) The kids are gonna love me when they get home from school!
